I have set my UNITERM.SET file : so uniterm will communicate at 9600baud. And here is the problem; somehow, the : VAX reads the RS-232 port BEFORE the UNITERM.SET file is executed, and as a : result sets my line to 19200baud--max baud rate for the ST--. The UNITERM.SET : file is then executed, resets the ST port to 9600, and I cannot communicate : with the host, without changing the rate to 19200. : : Any ideas on how to go about fixing this little problem? I don't know that much about VMS, but try turning autobaud off. : I can certainly operate at 19200, but I found that when I display large files : on the screen, the buffer overflows and I get garbage. If you have version 1.7b, you can change the size of the RS232 buffer on the startup screen. Try, oh, 30000. If none of that works, I guess you're up the creek without a mouse, stuck with 19200 and liberal use of ^S. (Now, there's an idea.. if your buffer keeps overfilling, XON/XOFF should help...) : Any help with this would be appreciated. -- Bill Wisner ..{sdcsvax,ihnp4}!jack!wolf!billw
